The gold hammer! Goldman Sachs predicts USD 4,500 – Barrick, Desert Gold, Rheinmetall, and thyssenkrupp
The highest current estimate by investment banks for the price of gold is USD 4,500 per ounce by the end of 2025. This is the extreme scenario from Goldman Sachs, which could materialize in the event of a severe recession or major geopolitical escalation. In addition to the ever-present war scenarios, the economic outlook in the US also remains a source of uncertainty. The prospect of persistently high interest rates is fueling inflation concerns, with many wealthy investors pulling out of the dollar and increasingly turning to gold. This is also because US fiscal policy is perceived as increasingly chaotic. Additional tariffs are pushing the budget deficit even higher, creating an environment in which tangible assets are becoming more attractive. The increased demand for gold from institutional investors, funds, and central banks sends a clear message: the precious metals sector is on the verge of a new upswing.

Almonty fires up the turbo: Reaching new heights with tungsten and foresight
Almonty Industries (TSX: AII; WKN: A1JSSD; ISIN: CA0203981034; EUR 2.75) is set to become a key player in strategic raw material security in 2025, and with good reason. Despite a fourfold increase in its share price and a market value of over CAD 1.2 billion, the story is far from over. Of particular concern are the intensifying international tensions between the power blocs of the US, Europe, and China, which show no signs of easing. At recent summit meetings, it became clear that neither side is willing to make concessions, even on minor issues. Tariffs, inflation, high debt, and a dire supply situation on the commodity markets are further exacerbating the political rifts between East and West. At the center of this storm are commodity producers and industrial buyers who depend on stable supply chains. Here is an update on our top pick: Almonty Industries.

Biotech stocks with a safety net and double bottom: Vidac Pharma, BioNTech, and Gilead Sciences
For many years, biotech stocks were considered speculative bets on a single, all-important active ingredient.

Innovative technologies and modern processes ensure that even smaller biotech companies have several arrows in their quiver that can hit the mark. We explain what has changed in the biotech sector and what opportunities for collaboration could exist between BioNTech, Gilead Sciences, and Vidac Pharma.

Lightning on the horizon in the biotech sector: Refinancing on the rise! Keep an eye on Formycon, PanGenomic Health, Bayer, and Novo Nordisk
In the first half of 2025, the biotech sector demonstrated resilience and innovation despite macroeconomic uncertainties. Venture capital financing reached an impressive USD 6.5 billion, with a focus on companies with clinically validated data. Large financing deals such as the USD 365 million for Pathos AI underscore the strategic investor focus on AI and digitalization. The IPO market remains highly selective, but strong stock market debuts such as that of Caris Life Sciences are sending positive signals. At the same time, the M&A sector is booming with billion-dollar acquisitions by pharmaceutical giants such as J&J and Novo. So far in 2025, the biotech sector has demonstrated targeted capital allocation, dynamic consolidation, and growing confidence in medical breakthroughs. Here are a few ideas for a balanced portfolio of opportunities.

Over 100% gains! Better than RENK and DroneShield shares? NATO contract for drone insider tip: Volatus Aerospace!
Changing of the guard for defense stocks? While RENK shares have lost more than 20% in recent weeks, drone specialists DroneShield and Volatus Aerospace have exploded. Volatus remains relatively inexpensive. Now, the Company has also secured a NATO contract. In terms of valuation, the Canadians remain something of a hidden gem – their peer group is valued significantly higher. That includes DroneShield. The Australians are now valued at more than AUD 2 billion. Admittedly, their pipeline is also impressive. In addition to the drone revolution, a lot of money continues to flow into tanks and other armored vehicles. The German Armed Forces alone plans to procure thousands of new vehicles. RENK wants a large slice of the billion-dollar pie and is investing EUR 500 million. Does this mean the consolidation is now over?

Breaking news: Reverse Stock Split at Almonty – Significance and Background
Tungsten producer Almonty Industries announced a reverse stock split on Thursday. Shares will be consolidated at a ratio of 1.5 to 1. Anyone who previously held 1,500 shares will hold 1,000 shares after the split. Fractional shares will be rounded down. For example, someone holding 149 shares will receive 99 new shares. The new shares will be traded under a new International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) starting July 7, 2025. The reverse split will not affect existing shareholders: while investors will hold fewer shares in their portfolios after the split, each share will be proportionally worth more. So why is a company like Almonty Industries carrying out such a measure in the first place?

Explosive atmosphere in the lithium triangle – Europe stands to benefit: Albemarle, European Lithium, Mercedes-Benz
Electric vehicles need lithium. However, it is not that easy to obtain. According to a report in Die Welt, two companies from China and Russia are currently encountering difficulties in Bolivia. The reason: indigenous peoples have launched a wave of protests and are doing everything they can to prevent lithium mining in the country. Germany had already failed with a similar initiative in Bolivia. The indigenous peoples along the border with Argentina see themselves as the sole and rightful owners of the "white gold." As a result, the "lithium triangle" between Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile, which is home to more than half of the world's lithium reserves, is increasingly becoming a no-go area for companies. We explain the alternatives available and who stands to benefit the most.

Desert Gold's ingenious move: How the untapped gold anomaly and upcoming PEA could significantly enhance your portfolio
What if there were a vast, largely unexplored area right next to some of West Africa's most productive gold mines? And what if strong gold traces had already been found on surface, but no drill had ever been set up there? Desert Gold Ventures is now seizing this opportunity with the Tiegba Project in Ivory Coast. The deal is more than just a new exploration field. It is a strategically astute move with the potential to fundamentally transform the Company. Investors looking for exceptional opportunities in the commodities sector would be well advised to take a closer look.

Microcap revolutionizes the building materials industry: Does Argo Living Soils hold the key to billion-dollar revenues?
Sustainable construction has been a growing trend for some time. As early as the late 1970s, regulations in Germany required builders to insulate properties according to specific standards. Since then, standards have continued to rise steadily. In some cases, this has become a cost issue – especially when older buildings must be brought up to modern energy efficiency standards. For some time now, the focus has also shifted to the building materials themselves. Materials such as cement and concrete are considered particularly energy-intensive and therefore anything but CO2-neutral. This is precisely where innovative technology comes in. A billion-dollar market is emerging.

Plug Power +71%! CAUTION with Evotec! Buy Walmart partner MiMedia shares?
A 71% share price increase in one month. Is this the resurrection of Plug Power shares? The performance is certainly impressive: operational news, insider buying, and a short squeeze are creating a dynamic mix. However, the fundamental problems remain. Those looking for an exciting stock for the second half of the year should take a closer look at MiMedia. The report on the first six months of this cloud hidden gem is expected to be positive and could drive the stock to a new high after its sideways movement. And what is Evotec doing? After last week's positive news, hopes for an upward trend were high. However, analysts are warning of a possible profit warning at the biotech company.
